Do you see a difference?
I have started using just the cleansing cream and normalizing day oil, and I really like what I see so far. I am thinking of doing the whole cleanser, toner, rhythmic night thingy. Did you see a difference when you started using the whole routine, rather than just bits and pieces?
Thanks!  |

At the moment I am practically using all of the Dr H products for combination-oily skin & I have noticed my skin is starting to claim down a bit more than usual. Especially since I have stopped using foaming cleansers which seem to irritate my skin. But I think it really depends on what products/brands you find work best with your skin & I don't think you always have to use *everything* from one particular brand to get the best results (even though cosmetic companies always tell us we should be doing this  ) |

Yes, I jumped entirely on board this summer. My skin is a lot happier and clearer than it was before I started using Dr.H. I have been using the cleansing milk, cleansing cream, clarifying toner, normalizing oil, cleansing clay mask, and rejeuvenating mask. The cleansing milk is the most recent addition for me, I was using everything else, and I liked it so much, I decided to go all the way. I definitely prefer the cleansing milk to my previous cleanser, it is really gentle, but it definitely removes all the make-up and dirt from my skin.
Before this summer I used to use the rejeuvenating mask, toner, and cleansing clay mask, so my transition was different from what you are planning, but I definitely noticed a difference.
The one issue I have had is that my current routine doesn't seem to be moisturizing enough for my skin, while I am acne prone, I can tend towards dryness. So, I will need to change moisturizers. At the moment I am experimenting with the Jurlique Herbal Recovery gel (I have samples), but it is too early to decide whether or not I like it, and I may try the Dr. H Quince Day Cream or the Jurlique Calendula cream as well. |

I use Dr. Hauschka products almost exclusively and do use pretty much the whole line: cleansing milk, cleansing cream, facial toner, eye balm, and rose day cream. I also use several of the masks at regular intervals. (An aside, today I used the cleansing clay mask and, on the advice of an EDS poster, mixed the clay with the steam bath instead of just regular water. I loved it! My skin looked beautifully clear and clean and felt just wonderful.)
I can't recall which Dr. Hauschka products I started with and in what order I integrated the remaining ones. I can say, however, that they did seem to work better in conjunction with each other than they did when I was still using some of my old products.
Emma Jane, have you tried the rose day cream? I ask because when I started, I too found that I needed more a more intensive moisturizer in spite of the fact that I'd thought of my skin as oily in places. I tried all of the Dr. H moisturizers and wasn't really happy until I hit upon the rose day cream. |

I found out about Dr. H from these boards. What a find! I use the whole line but I cheat a bit in that I use Retin-A every other night. The off nights I don't use anything and let my skin breath as the Dr. Haushcka line suggests.
I use the cleansing milk, cleansing cream clarifying toner. I also have the rejuvenating mask, clay mask, rose day cream. I will be buying the RNC next month. I did see a difference after starting this line. Before that I used a foaming cleanser and oil free everything. My skin was nice looking but had a reddish tone to it. Now it looks more like a pale skin tone which is my colouring. I am quite pleased with this line and will continue to use it.
This line is quite expensive in many countries (US, Canada, UK for instance) but here it is half that price. In the future I might consider buying many Dr. H items and selling them online for less than one would buy in those countries.  |

| Shanno, thank-you so much for the suggestion - I will definitely check out the Rose Day Cream. I will be close to a Sephora next weekend, and I am going to see how many samples I can squeeze out of the sales assitants. I will be moving soon, and some of these products will become less accessible to me, so I would love to establish a great routine before I go so that I can simply order replacements from EDS. |

Let's see, I use the cleansing cream, cleansing milk, normalizing oil, eye balm, bronzing concentrate, clarifying toner, clay mask, hand cream, morning day cream, rose day cream.
The things I value the most for results are the Cleansing Cream, eye balm, bronzing concentrate, clay mask, and hand cream. The Rejuvinating mask didn't like me...darn it. The Rose day cream is a bit too oily for my skin but winter is around the corner so you never know. |

| I thought that it was supposed to be a minimum of 28 days? Have they changed this to 25? |

| well, they SAY 28 days.. but then they only give you 50 ampoules in the box!!! Kinda stupid, really. I mean, if you need 28 days, then why not give ya 56 ampoules?! |

No, because then after you do your first 28 course, on the second course you realise that you have to quickly repurchase or you will run out, otherwise you wouldn't repurchase so quickly  Just kidding, I do a 25 day as well. |

| ... and I guess 56 is a hard number of ampoules to pack properly.. then again, why not just sell a 60 pack and REALLY call it a one-month cycle. |

It is supposed to be two ampoules per night, but a lot of people just do one.
Since this was my first time to use them, I wanted to do it exactly as instructed on the box. |

That was one of the products I had considered and wondered about how much slip it has to spread over the face cause I wouldn't want to use 2 amps if it only needs one cause then you get a slimy face  |

No slip at all. None. Nada. It is basically like a water texture, you get the little pool in your palm and pat onto the face. Then it just dries/absorbs and you are left with a very soft skin that is shine free.
I must say, that I have not once woken up to shiny skin using these. Some nights, I have forgotton to do the toner first, but I think I like it better when you use both.

| You're not supposed to use a toner with the RNC. The RNC is instead of toner. Save the toner until you are done with 28 days. |

Since this is about the WHOLE Dr. H line, has anybody used the deodorant? I sniffed the rose deodorant the other day and loved the smell. I ususually use Secret Platimum and like it but it leaves white streaks and I don't like the smells. I was thinking, perhaps as a treat, the Dr. H, if it's any good... A SA also suggested putting Jurlique rose sik dust on top of my usual deodorant.  |

| I have dabbed the Jurlique Rose Silk Dust over my deodorant after it has dried before. Since it's so pricey I only do it on really special occasions, but I will admit that it keeps me drier and smelling better than deodorant alone...^-^ |
